A Sad Day for Michael Moore?

CLICK TO ENLARGE

Poor Michael Moore has lost a great ally in his fight against President Bush. Too bad. Maybe he can make a movie about how Zarqawi was "misunderstood" and "wrongly labeled" or some such gobbledygook.

The best news is that al-Zarqawi may have been turned in by some of his own guys. If true, that is a great thing that should be well noted. But should we give the $25 million to a terrrorist?

(CNSNews.com) - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian-born terrorist leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, has been killed, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki announced at a press conference on Iraqi state television shortly before 4 a.m. Thursday Washington time.

"Today we have managed to put at end to al-Zarqawi," Maliki said in Arabic, to thunderous applause.

The accomplishment stemmed from the type of cooperation the government had been asking of Iraqi citizens, the prime minister said, suggesting that an intelligence tip-off had led forces to track down Zarqawi.

His death was a message to all those who are pursuing violence, Maliki said, pledging to kill "all the terrorists."

General Casey said "tips and intelligence from Iraqi senior leaders" from Zarqawi's own network led coalition forces to Zarqawi as he met with his associates in Baquba, north of Baghdad.

That same year, the State Department announced an increase in the reward it was offering for information leading to Zarqawi's capture, of up to $25 million -- the same amount offered for bin Laden.
